Unsurprisingly for a quality screen, there is a good deal of consistency with the companies that score well. Two companies that have regularly gotten perfect marks on Algy Hall's screen this year are Halma (HLMA) and Spirax-Sarco (SPX). Both companies have been covered recently in Phil Oakley's weekly round up and are very well run businesses. The question mark with shares in some of these companies is usually what you're being asked to pay for them, however.
- This month 20 companies included in the FTSE All Share Index pass all nine of our quality screen tests. Of these, 17 companies also scored 9/9 last month. New to a perfect score are Sirius Real Estate (SRE), Paypoint (PAY) and On the Beach (OTB).
- The three companies included in the FTSE Small Companies index that pass all the tests are also in the All Share index, so appear in both screens. These are Sirius Real Estate, Paypoint and housebuilder MJ Gleeson (GLE).
- On Aim, there are a dozen companies meeting the full quality criteria, with data solutions provider D4t4 (D4T4) new to the list.
